History

If you were to ask us “Are you a sister or a daughter of the original owners?” We would tell you;
Stitches & Daughters was founded by Carola Reason and Julia Redfearn in 1987.  Using their instinct and eclectic tastes the pair generated one of the first ‘lifestyle’ shops which have become so popular in recent times. By amalgamating new and edgy products, vintage and hand crafted items not readily available on the high street; the eccentric style of Sisters and Daughters was born. Over the years sister stores were opened in Greenwich and Tower Bridge. The shops delighted customers and charmed stylists and became renowned for its innovative buying and engaging stock.
  Carola took over the shop in Blackheath and renamed it Sisters  & Daughters, where she continued to trade until her retirement in 2001 when Julia McCulloch, became the new owner. Julia Redfearn continued to trade as Stitches & Daughters until she retired.
